Space and Time, a Microsoft-backed blockchain data project, announced an enterprise platform intended to let businesses verify calculations on private data without exposing the underlying records to AI tools or other users.
As reported by Decrypt on November 9, 2026, Space and Time Enterprise targets a specific problem: allowing AI applications, auditors and other stakeholders to check results without giving them access to the database behind those results. The proposed use case connects enterprise AI with cryptographic verification—but does not make every enterprise deployment a source of blockchain activity or SXT token demand.
What the platform is designed to verify
Launch partners include onchain asset manager Maple Finance, Indonesian vehicle maker and distributor Indomobil, Oracle software consultancy Trenez, and AI data network The Data Foundation.
“Businesses want AI agents to execute workflows using that information, but those agents don’t need unrestricted access to the records behind every calculation,” Nate Holiday, CEO of MakeInfinite Labs, Space and Time’s original developer, told Decrypt.
Holiday described unrestricted AI access as another avenue of data exposure. He said the company was working with customers in construction, engineering and manufacturing that wanted AI agents, reporting tools and compliance teams to use the same business records and verify the calculations they depend on.
The platform uses Proof of SQL, Space and Time’s patented technology for proving that database queries were computed correctly. According to the company, it already works with Google Cloud’s BigQuery, and businesses can now run it on their own servers without operating a blockchain, buying specialized hardware or using an outside proving service.
Holiday said GPU acceleration allows supported queries over millions of rows to be executed and proven in under a second. That is a conditional performance claim: actual results depend on the query, hardware and dataset.
There is also an important limit to what the proof establishes. It can demonstrate that a calculation was performed correctly on a given set of records; it cannot establish that those records were accurate in the first place.
“An incorrect entry still needs to be caught through the business’s data controls,” Holiday said, adding that verification provides evidence of which data was used and whether it was processed correctly.
Enterprise use is not automatically SXT demand
Space and Time also operates SXT Chain, a decentralized network supplying verifiable data to decentralized finance, tokenized assets and stablecoins. SXT is the token that powers that blockchain.
Asked whether enterprise customers would create demand for SXT, Holiday said businesses could deploy the product within their own environments. The network would become relevant as their applications “need to connect to onchain markets,” with those workloads paid for through Space and Time.
That distinction matters to the AI-and-crypto narrative: the enterprise product can be used without operating a blockchain, while connections to onchain markets represent a separate use case. The launch partners identify participants in the rollout, but the announcement does not quantify production usage or resulting SXT demand.
Funding and the broader ecosystem
Space and Time raised $20 million in 2022 in a strategic funding round led by M12, Microsoft’s venture fund. In 2025, Grayscale launched a trust giving investors exposure to SXT.
Earlier in 2026, the company launched Dreamspace, an AI-powered tool built with Microsoft’s Azure AI services that lets users create and deploy onchain applications without writing code.
Holiday also pointed to uses of the team’s cryptography beyond the enterprise platform. He said Microsoft’s Nova project includes Blitzar, Space and Time’s cryptographic acceleration library, and that the team’s work on the Dory commitment scheme contributed to a16z crypto’s Jolt proof system.
The enterprise launch therefore centers on verifiable computation for private business data. Whether that use case translates into onchain activity remains distinct from the platform’s ability to verify database calculations.
